​Amalapuram: Bollywood blockbuster ‘Dangal’ director Nitish Tiwari, who is set to direct a short film soon, finds the atmosphere in the Konaseema region pleasant and people of the region very warm with their love and affection.

Giving details of the short film at a media conference held here on Monday, Tiwari said that the plot of the short film would be about a father giving priority to his daughter’s education over her marriage.

The producer of the film is a real estate enterprise. It is making the short film with Nitish Tiwary as the director as part of its corporate social responsibility.

Tiwary said that he would be producing the short film in the locales of the Konaseema region which is known for its lush greenery. He took an opportunity to shower praises on Rajamouli for his mega flick ‘Bahubali’.

Nitish Tiwary won national award in 2012 for his flick ‘Chillar Party’. In 2014, he made a movie with Amitabh Bachchan as hero – ‘Bhoothnath Returns’. It may be recalled that his latest movie ‘Dangal’ went on to become a mega block buster.

“The story and the message truly moved me and the subject of empowerment is very close to my heart and I simply couldn’t resist. As a filmmaker, I hope the message reaches masses of people and they relate with it,” the Dangal director said.

Managing director of the Building Blocks Group Bhaskar Reddy and Hyper Collective Advertising Agency managing director KV Sridhar are also present at the media conference.
